This saddens me to see girls and women being used and abused around the world even more so than they are in America. Many of them come from families who do not know any better and these girls, most of them children, are turned into baby prostitutes fighting for their lives. This woman working to save them is truly a saint. CNN did her and the poor girls justice by shedding light on her cause.

" More than 17,000 women and girls from Nepal become sex slaves every year. Many end up in India, China or other Southeast Asian countries, and roughly half of them are children."
